CRAFTING WHEN WE CAN WITH DIES/PUNCHES

Has it been two weeks already?  Time just flies by!  Here we are with another fabulous challenge at 

CRAFTING WHEN WE CAN

Our challenge is to use dies/punches.  This time we are sponsored by  

KENNY K

 Those of you who know me know that I have a real hard time with boy cards.  I was blessed with two beautiful girls and am divorced so no guys are around here.  I have two nephews but they live so far away I don't really know them very well.  So to channel a boy is kind of hard for me.  So I hope you enjoy this card.  

I was given the image "Ryder Cole".  He looks to be cool kid!  I was really stuck on what to do so I asked my very talented sister Rebecca what she thought.  She had the idea for all the circles. So all the paper came from my scraps.  It's nice to use these things up.  When thinking of how to color him I thought I would use my daughter's school colors ~ green and gold.  He was colored with Copic and Whisper Strokes markers.  (You know I love some sparkle but there is no sparkle here because he's a guy.)  The circles were done with an EK Success 1" circle punch.

My card is for my great-nephew who just turned two.  He's such a cute little guy!  




  I hope you will join us in the challenge this fortnight and don't forget to check out all the wonderful creations at CRAFTING WHEN WE CAN!
